Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Stupid History Minute. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Cap Pount. Today we're talking about the Cleveland Guardians. The
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians have one of baseball's longest histories, even if
Speaker 1: their name is one of the newest. The franchise was
Speaker 1: founded in nineteen oh one as one of the American
Speaker 1: League's original teams. After several name changes, they became the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians in nineteen fifteen before adopting the name Guardians
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, inspired by the famous Guardians of
Speaker 1: traffic statues that stand on Cleveland's Hope Memorial Bridge. The
Speaker 1: franchise has won two World Series Championships and has been
Speaker 1: home to legends like Bob Feller and Larry Dobie, which
Speaker 1: was the first African American player in the American League,
Speaker 1: Jim Tony, and Jose Ramirez. Sometimes history means honoring the
Speaker 1: past while embracing the future. I guess this has been
Speaker 1: the Stupid History Minute and I'm kept Pound. This podcast
